This study was conducted to evaluate the validity and reliability of the "Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutics Scale" in Turkish nurses.
This study was a psychometric design. A convenience sample of 249 nurses working at the Malatya Training Research Hospital completed a structured questionnaire including demographic characteristics and the Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutics Scale (NSCTS) between August and October 2018. Principal components analysis, internal consistency reliability, and Cronbach's α were used to measure the psychometric properties of the items of the scale.
In the evaluation of construct validity, identified one factor with eigenvalues greater than 1 explained 50.83% of the total variance. The Cronbach's α value of the scale is 0.86.
The present study provides evidence of NSCTS's validity, reliability, and acceptability. The scale can be used by Turkish nurses. This scale should be further evaluated with a larger sample in different regions in Turkey and various populations. The scale has potential applications for use both in research and as a screening tool in clinical settings.
本研究旨在评估土耳其护士使用的“护士精神关怀治疗量表”的有效性和可靠性。
本研究采用心理计量设计。2018 年 8 月至 10 月，在马拉蒂亚培训研究医院工作的 249 名护士组成方便样本，完成了一份包括人口统计学特征和护士精神关怀治疗量表（NSCTS）的结构化问卷。采用主成分分析、内部一致性信度和克朗巴赫 α 来衡量量表项目的心理计量特性。
在构建效度评估中，确定一个特征值大于 1的因子解释了总方差的 50.83%。该量表的克朗巴赫 α 值为 0.86。
本研究为 NSCTS 的有效性、可靠性和可接受性提供了证据。该量表可用于土耳其护士。该量表应在土耳其不同地区和不同人群中用更大的样本进行进一步评估。该量表在研究和临床环境中的筛查工具方面具有潜在的应用价值。
